Dazzling fresh South African white from a highly awarded family property. Chenin Blanc is a speciality of the Cape and this wine demonstrates why. From a drought stricken vintage, this is deliciously intense with brilliant guava and lemon fruit.

The brilliant, new release Citrus & Vine is from an exciting family estate with a state of the art cellar to boot. The land has been in the family for generations, but the family's first winery was only built just over a decade ago. The property lies in the Breede River Valley – with rich calcareous soils, the region is renowned for not only delicious, ripe fruit wines, but also its citrus orchards and for breeding horses. In fact the family excels at all three, hence the wine's name. Citrus & Vine is made purely from South African speciality white grape, Chenin Blanc, and exudes lively and intense guava, lemon and passion fruit notes. Chill down this bright, fruity white and enjoy on its own or with chicken or spicy Thai curry.

"Exciting new release big on fruit and freshness. Top vintage, just not too much of it to go round" Kirsten Willis
